Abstract
Where is the obscenity of writing on the body in the novels of '"extrême contemporain"? Putain Nelly Arcan, Pornocratie Catherine Breillat and La vie sexuelle ... by Catherine Millet constitute the sample of a "write-show" that show through images that "we must not" look. In these texts, pornography and obscene become a matter of "word," that says, as they usually do not say, and "image", built, for to show off. In this sense, write can mean see. The novel, as the scene becomes a place and theater of the gaze, a gaze that shows, transforms and creates. Line with the evolution of customs and mentality, these authors change the code pornographic, emptying of corporeal matter to fill them with the ways of writing.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
